Way cool free fun for the kids this week! A medieval Meadows Museum Family Day (feel free to dress up as a knight or princess), a family festival that includes a free look at the Kimbell’s amazing “Age of Impressionism” exhibit, a family field day at Sci-Tech Discovery Center, Willy Welch at Galleria Dallas and a chance to play with robots with Bookmarks at NorthCourt in NorthPark Center.

Fabulous free fun for kids — and teens — this week: Twilight parties at Target (with Walmart stores offering parties at the same time), Target Second Saturday celebration of Black History Month at the Latino Cultural Center, a Shakespeare acting workshop for those interested in auditioning for the Junior Players’ summer production of The Taming of the Shrew, a Family Funday at the Amon Carter Museum of American Art and Willy Welch at Galleria Dallas. I’ve got all the details in my Family Fun free fun column here

The Dallas Children’s Theater opened up its season with a new idea: an opening night pajama party for the audience of each of its upcoming shows, starting with Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day.

The show was a success (you can read my review here), and so was the party. It was cool to see a full audience of kids, many of them wearing pajamas and clutching blankets or cuddly toys. During intermission they feasted on ice cream from Sam’s (ice cream is an Alexander favorite) and listened to Willy Welch, aka Mr. Willy, perform. They also received free gum (another Alexander fave) on the way out after the show; smart way to avoid having gum end up in the carpet before the next performance!
